So you think
we shouldn't have gone into Afghanistan because it has caused an
"escalation
of terrorist activities"?

At your trade school, did you learn anything about COMPLEX SYSTEMS? If so,
how do you suppose it might apply to your question, above?

In engineering, we dealt in quantitative (not qualitative) analysis. In
dentistry, we practice medicine based upon science (ie--cause and effect,
and determinism) rather than chaos theory.

Afghanistan was ground zero for the planning and training for 9/11. Whether
or not attacking them caused an escalation in terror attacks is irrelevant.
The fact of the matter is that we needed to disrupt the training camps
there.

That's funny. Actually, in *real* engineering, we can deal with both.

Actually, chaos theory *is* science. It is an analytical tool just like
statistics.

??? I thought the big terrorist training ground was in Iraq? So if it
was in Afghanistan, why did we invade Iraq (other than Rumsfeld's logic
"there are good targets there")

From what I have read, the USA was ground zero for flight training and
planning.

Chaos theory is real science.
